Someone marked Dasalan at Tuksuhan for English translation. People were confused at first as to what language it was. [Should I be writing this request somewhere else? It's already listed under pages needing translation into English. -- TheBoompsy 06:36, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
There has recently been an edit war over the capital city of the Philippines. If I understand the situation correctly, this should be no big deal, but those of you from the Philippines who know more about local terminology should decide whether Wikipedia should list the capital as Manila or Metro Manila or the NCR, etc. Keep in mind that apparently some citizens of the NCR outside Manila proper might be offended if the capital is referred to simply as Manila. Thanks. -- Tantalum T e lluride 23:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Hey what to you think of this idea. We rename Ninoy Aquino International Airport to Manila NAIA, and Diosdado Macapagal International Airport to Manila DMIA This is similar to the London Heathrow and the London Gatwick that are being used. I have two reasons for this. First, to shrink the article titles so that it is easier for people to link to it. Second, as the highway is built, DMIA is planned to serve Manila, the way Gatwick serves London, despite the distance. What do you guys think? Pls archive Tambay na rin, for Tambay is getting too long. Thanks. -- Noypi380 13:34, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I think the following articles need to be improved: Demographics of the Philippines and Ethnic groups of the Philippines. Here are the changes I'm proposing. Since these articles tend to change a lot, I wanted to align with you guys before I do some work, so we could pull the cart in (more or less) the same direction...
Principles:
Outline
Suggestions? -- Nino Gonzales 01:02, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Why not this?:
Outline
-- User:Matthewprc 3:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
I think this outline would also work. Is there any particular reason why you prefer this? Why don’t we come up with some guidelines to choosing an outline and selecting what data to include in the article (this would ultimately be a matter of selection; we can’t possibly include everything about ethnic groups in the Philippines within 30KB, or within a crisp wikipedia article). My proposals are in the section below. I’ll ask Al-Andalus to contribute to setting these guidelines this since he seems to be interested in this article.
In the meantime I placed a POV tag on the article because it seems that:
I also placed an improvement tag since:
I'll also asks our admins to not allow editing from anons... -- Nino Gonzales 02:58, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
All, please help in setting guidelines for writing this article. Since it discusses something that seems to elicit impassioned edits from all sorts of POV’s, maybe agreeing in principles would make it more stable.
More prominent ethnicities should get more space. If people want more data, they could always go to the main articles.
Limit inclusion of data to those which are most significant.
Here are the sources I was planning to use:
Use commonly used terms and divisions
There are different definition. I admit that some define Filipino in terms of race, but I don’t know of any mainstream scholar who defines Filipino in terms of race. Agoncillo and Nick Joaquin does NOT define Filipino in terms of race. I suggest we avoid defining it; neither explicitly nor implicitly (through some sort of segregation). If we insist in defining it, the several generally accepted POV’s should be represented.
From its wikipedia article, it does not (only) mean race, or linguistic grouping
If we want to make this article quick and crisp, I think we need to select what are the most important details we would want to include. I think all ethnicities should have the following details:
And for specific ethnicities
What do you think?-- Nino Gonzales 15:03, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

The articles in this category are a mess. The articles look like a press release or a propaganda thingy rather than an encyclopedia article. What should we do? Also, some Wikipedians (who are apparently fans of these programs) are stubborn and would revert to their own crappy version. Any thoughts? Howard the Duck 08:37, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

So, I was in a department store last Saturday when I stopped by a rack of newspapers to look at the headlines-- and lo and behold, on the front page of the Cebu Daily News, I find my locator map of Saint Bernard, Southern Leyte. It had some modifications to show the other cities and municipalities. It gave no credit to me or Wikipedia (in fact, the graphics were attributed to a "Jessah Diaz"), but I guess I should be flattered. :) There's an image of the front page here.

I'm planning to put pictures to represent each Ethnic group in the Philippines. I don't think the selection of the picture should be based on...uhh racial purity (why does that leave a bad taste in my mouth? err keyboard?) Since ethnicity is more than ancestry, the criteria, I think, should not be based primarily on race or ancestry. So even if Rizal has non-Tagalog ancestors, I think he should represent the Tagalog. For me, he is the quintessential Tagalog. Here’s my plan:
Okidoks?
People, I know that school has a little more than 1 week left. I am planning to port at least 150-1500 articles from this Wikipedia to the Tagalog Wikipedia. Is this amenable and will I not violate any copyright laws here???

I'm happy to announce that we have our first Philippine-related Featured List: Provinces of the Philippines was just promoted (see nomination). :) Coffee 04:27, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Ateneo de Manila University and National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) were promoted as good articles.

Barangay articles are popping up here and there, and I'm rethinking my opposition to their creation... We have 41,939 barangays, with an average population of 2094. France has 36,782 communes, with an average population of 1738. Seeing that there are articles that list all of the communes in France (like Communes of the Côtes-d'Armor département) with all of them wikilinked, I'm suppose that they have consensus to keep articles on communes. With that considered, we don't seem to have much of a case for opposing barangay articles. Coffee 05:38, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Philippine Wikipedians,
I wanted to let you know I'll be giving a presentation at a conference in Manila on Wikipedia and wikis, and I though it might be a good time for Philippine-based Wikipedians wanted to meet, and also to meet some other prominent Internet-researchers who are fans of Wikipedia. Conference details for "Free Expression in Asian Cyberspace: A Conference of Asian Bloggers, Podcasters and Online Media" can be found here: [5].
I'm also interested in talking to Wikipedians because I am doing research on a book about Wikipedia, and am interested in Asia stories. Please drop me a line if interested, either on my talk page or by email. Thanks. -- Fuzheado | Talk 23:53, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Why does the Filipino article lack an 'Ancestry' section? Other 'People' articles do have those. Is it because there are not much genetic sudies on the origins of Filipinos? = ) 11:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I might not be properly aware of this, but someone tagged the article on ABS-CBN a copyvio. Although I'm not sure what's the basis (especially because ABS-CBN's website is one giant portal with no definite location of the purported copyvio), I'm hoping to get help on salvaging the ABS-CBN articles and images so that they can be used in the supposedly "new" article, if needed. -- Akira123323 15:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm thinking of starting a Category:People from Metro Manila, People from Bulacan, etc. I wondering if you don't agree and if this will cause trouble. Circa 1900 13:48, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps we can create this article, just like 2005 in Australia. Circa 1900 03:16, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
So, I was in a department store last Saturday when I stopped by a rack of newspapers to look at the headlines-- and lo and behold, on the front page of the Cebu Daily News, I find my locator map of Saint Bernard, Southern Leyte. It had some modifications to show the other cities and municipalities. It gave no credit to me or Wikipedia (in fact, the graphics were attributed to a "Jessah Diaz"), but I guess I should be flattered. :) There's an image of the front page here.

Note to admins: somebody(s) vandalized Mike Abundo. I reverted it back to the orig, but I just want you guys to know. Pls check the history of it. I'm not the expert but I think something has to be done. Lastly, is the Mike Abundo article supposed to be there? I'm not sure anymore. -- Noypi380 14:22, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

After getting inspiration from looking at the flag of Bohol (and also of the US state flags), I'm wondering if we can document like a gallery of Philippine provincial flags. It seems feasible to me. -- Akira123323 13:28, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm planning to put pictures to represent each Ethnic group in the Philippines. I don't think the selection of the picture should be based on...uhh racial purity (why does that leave a bad taste in my mouth? err keyboard?) Since ethnicity is more than ancestry, the criteria, I think, should not be based primarily on race or ancestry. So even if Rizal has non-Tagalog ancestors, I think he should represent the Tagalog. For me, he is the quintessential Tagalog. Here’s my plan:
Okidoks?
People, I know that school has a little more than 1 week left. I am planning to port at least 150-1500 articles from this Wikipedia to the Tagalog Wikipedia. Is this amenable and will I not violate any copyright laws here???
Thanks
I'm happy to announce that we have our first Philippine-related Featured List: Provinces of the Philippines was just promoted (see nomination). :) Coffee 04:27, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Yehey, jubilations for all Filipino Wikipedians. I wish this would serve as a beacon for all of us to strive harder in the name of Wikipedian excellence. Justox dizaola 09:24, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Astig :) Looking forward to the 1st Philippine-related featured article! (has there already been one, btw?)-- Nino Gonzales 15:12, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Ateneo de Manila University and National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) were promoted as good articles. I suggest articles that are good enough be promoted as good articles first before subjecting them to featured article nominations, to "test the waters". Circa 1900 06:20, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Okay, while I like the new Philippine city infobox, it seems that city seals get cut off near the bottom (check Manila for an example). I wonder how this can be fixed. -- Akira123323 02:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I've listed PINAS FIRST (a Austrian-based Philippine organization) and its sister articles on WP:AFD. Voice out your opinions as you wish. I may not be able to respond until Sunday because I'll be taking a wikivacation during the Holy Week. Howard the Duck | talk, 16:09, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Barangay articles are popping up here and there, and I'm rethinking my opposition to their creation... We have 41,939 barangays, with an average population of 2094. France has 36,782 communes, with an average population of 1738. Seeing that there are articles that list all of the communes in France (like Communes of the Côtes-d'Armor département) with all of them wikilinked, I'm suppose that they have consensus to keep articles on communes. With that considered, we don't seem to have much of a case for opposing barangay articles. Coffee 05:38, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Philippine Wikipedians,
I wanted to let you know I'll be giving a presentation at a conference in Manila on Wikipedia and wikis, and I though it might be a good time for Philippine-based Wikipedians wanted to meet, and also to meet some other prominent Internet-researchers who are fans of Wikipedia. Conference details for "Free Expression in Asian Cyberspace: A Conference of Asian Bloggers, Podcasters and Online Media" can be found here: [5].
I'm also interested in talking to Wikipedians because I am doing research on a book about Wikipedia, and am interested in Asia stories. Please drop me a line if interested, either on my talk page or by email. Thanks. -- Fuzheado | Talk 23:53, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Why does the Filipino article lack an 'Ancestry' section? Other 'People' articles do have those. Is it because there are not much genetic sudies on the origins of Filipinos? = ) 11:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Bold text I just want to know if Dennis Rodman is somewhat Filipino? Please post an article about his biography... Thank you!
Okay, I might not be properly aware of this, but someone tagged the article on ABS-CBN a copyvio. Although I'm not sure what's the basis (especially because ABS-CBN's website is one giant portal with no definite location of the purported copyvio), I'm hoping to get help on salvaging the ABS-CBN articles and images so that they can be used in the supposedly "new" article, if needed. -- Akira123323 15:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
I have been seeing the green e in esperanza members' usernames... why don't we implement that here? like a red "t" (for tambay)... so that other users who may know something about Philippine-related topics may contribute something.

Question. Can anyone distinguish the two terms? How are the two related. Is one part of the other? I read publicity and wikipedia:notability but I would prefer more input from everybody. This is for understanding notability arguments during AfDs. :) -- Noypi380 00:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi. First, thanks to Jondel for directing me to this Tambayan Philippines page. I certainly feel at home here.
I'm planning to setup a Chavacano Wikipedia to be included in Philippine Wikipedias. What do you guys think? Is it a good idea? I'm fairly new to wiki, still learning all those wiki tags, and basically, I just need some technical help. Anybody here willing to help me? Please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks. -- Weekeejames 21:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
I look forward to seeing the Chavacano wiki!! Ojala que tengamos un wikipedia en Chavacano. -- Jondel 00:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Speaking of regional Wikipedias, the Kinaray-a and Pangasinan Wikipedias (and Wikitionary in the case of Pangasinan) proposals are still ongoing. I wonder what will happen to those proposals? -- Akira123323 05:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I will support a Chabacano Wikipedia - but it has to specify which. Like Zamboangueño or Caviteño. -- Chris S. 12:14, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm happy to announce that I have requested a new Wikipedia in the Chavacano de Zamboanga language. Calling all supporters, those willing to help and all Chabacano/Chavacano wikipedians to please support the Chavacano Wikipedia. And, also please help spread the word around. Gracias a todos. -- Weekeejames 13:19, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
ATTENTION FILIPINO WIKIPEDIANS: Chavacano de Zamboanga Wikipedia is almost there. I just need help in finding chabacano-hablantes wikipedians and Zamboangeño wikipedians all over Wikipedia. Please help spread the word as we need just one or two native speakers who are willing to work on the Chavacano de Zamboanga wikipedia. If you know of a chabacano-hablante Wikipedian please let me know on my talk page or please direct them to me through my talk page, to this tambay page or to here. Muchas gracias. -- Weekeejames 11:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Okay, while I do like descriptive pictures to go with articles, I hate to say that the Philippines article is now very crowded with pictures. Unfortunately, I'm a poor judge of choosing what pictures I should remove (or something like that). Suggestions are highly welcome. -- Akira123323 Say what? | Track record 06:50, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Rather, there are very very few Filipino wikipedians in other languages. We're too oriented with English.-- Jondel 11:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Comrades, I need your help. I do not know how to put a picture in a wikipedian article. i have uploaded a file which shows the leaning belfry of the church in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte. it is

Although I do not normally stay up very late, I would like to announce that as of today ( May 15, 2006), we now have our first Philippine-related featured article (that actually meets the standards of a Philippine-related article as set out before): the Manila Light Rail Transit System.

I have seen in http://www.hymns.ru/ that the Filipino language (or Tagalog) has its own translation of the Internationale.

Hi. I already started making some articles about our First Ladies. Anyone who can make a template or infobox for our first ladies is greatly appreciated. As of now, I've finished already 2 articles:
Aurora Quezon's article is also done and so are Imelda Marcos and Ninoy Aquino's though he never served as First Gentleman officially.
